We asked voters on this poll whether they think interracial marriage should be legal or illegal- 46% of Mississippi Republicans said it should be illegal to just 40% who think it should be legal. For the most part there aren't any huge divides in how voters view the candidates or who they support for the nomination based on their attitudes about interracial marriage but there are a few exceptions.
Palin's net favorability with folks who think interracial marriage should be illegal (+55 at 74/19) is 17 points higher than it is with folks who think interracial marriage should be legal (+38 at 64/26.) Meanwhile Romney's favorability numbers see the opposite trend. He's at +23 (53/30) with voters who think interracial marriage should be legal but 19 points worse at +4 (44/40) with those who think it should be illegal. Tells you something about the kinds of folks who like each of those candidates.
Yeah, this is more shark jumping into Rasmussen territory for Jensen and company, but...really? 46% of Mississippi Republicans think interracial marriage should be illegal in 2011? Nearly half? And those are the ones that are admitting it, meaning the real number is going to be higher.
Oh, and speaking of race...
That's enough dog whistle there from Lucianne Goldberg (mother of Jonah the Whale Goldberg) to pretty much shatter sheets of pure diamond.
You play Peoria to Peoria. You play Hazzard County to Hazzard County.
